That poll is as useless as a cnn political poll. Hit them and hit them often with skewed results. It all comes down to the type of fan someone has. Hurry go vote for so and so. LOL Means nothing. I'm stunned Jen is so high. However, I don't use that as a mark for how I think all of America views her. I dig her but I doubt if she's really the second most popular.

Sorry but if Dani is separatd from the house I blame her not Dick. She is the one who was surgically attached to Nick until he left. Dick even begged her to get to know some of the folks, to spend a little time talking to them, but she just brushed it off and had no interest in it. Then other times IE when Dani was HoH and Amber was up there whining all over her for hours. Dani sat there stonefaced, and over and over Amber reached out to hang out, be friends etc and she just dissed her and didn't say a word. Now I can see not wanting to hang with Amber, trust me, but for gameplay she should have. She's done this with most of them. Even in groups she often has that sharp or disinterested stare they mimic of hers. That is all HER doing, not Dick's! I think that has been her biggest downfall in the game, and he had nothing to do with it (and even tried to help her see it).

I think if Dick just stuck to the pots & pans thing it would be ok. I think he did go to far this morning. But really what do they expect? Shoe is on the other foot now, the loved it when he went after Jen & Kail... they even encouraged it.

I don't think people's opinions here show an accurate reflection of popularity. IIRC, Dick's name hasn't been a single one of the Eric's two main tasks (nomination or eviction). What does that say?

Dick used these same tactics on his kids when they were little. Danielle said so herself when talking about her Dad. She said he would get in their faces so closely that when he screamed at them, he would spit on them. She said they would literally go hide in their rooms. Seems as if nothing has changed after all these years.

Sure they show the popularity of the HG by those who vote, but there are many people who do not vote or even go online for BB. It's not a true reflection.

Smokey, You are right on. At the time when Daniele said some of that stuff about Dick he had not really exposed himself. But I think the evidence is there to realize what some of the fundamental issues are with him and his daughter.

Kale I do agree with you about not trying to manufacture the drama. AG needs to believe in the concept of 14 complete strangers all going for half a million and then selectively put a DIVERSE group of individuals in there and let it happen. It will work all on it's own.

I tell him that Dani's ass is gone if he doesn't knock it off.

hahaha, I just read on another forum a suggestion for stopping Dick would be to start singing so it goes to vortex every time. I love that idea for some reason!

I think had there been someone like Roddy Dicks game would have been different. The first week we saw him trying to engage people in real conversations and he got nothing back. He couldn't play a mental game with people who had not mental ability. so he went the other way. Eric likes to brag about how he scored so high on the intelligence test but I'd say it would be a safe bet that Dick scored as well or better. Dick couldn't be AP because of his looks. (i think he could have done a better job than Eric) Like I said in another thread good or bad play all depends in large part on luck. Will is a genius player because he ended up in a house of idiots. Dick had to play the hand he got.

From what I've seen on various boards, the polls seem to be a fairly accurate reflection of where the fans stand. I've seen a lot more who enjoy Dick on some level, even if it's only cause he always keeps something happening in the house, and how boring it would be w/out him. The anti-Dick posts seems to be a lot, but I've noticed they mostly come from a core group of posters. I bet if they put up a poll where it was only one vote per person, the results would be close to CBS. Also if you look at how votes have gone with AP, they seem to reflect the popularity polls (or in that case lack thereof lol).

Marksman, I think we are now beginning to see the real side of Dick. And for that reason, somebody needs to do something. He is an out of control human being right now. It's frightening and sad at the same time. It has gone beyond entertainment.

Lurk honestly right now Dick is drawing a line between his daughter and the rest of the house. They even all sat up there in the HOH watching her giggling at some of her dads comments. When she goes outside sure enough there he is. They remove themselves from him and her as well. She has been told more than once UNFORTUNATELY his behavior will reflect on her. She is so aware of it she has asked him to please tone it down but then she tells him to crank it right back up. He's simply not helping her. The house gets it. He'd like to see her stay. The house is now talking about not letting her stay. He's destroying her game chances with these people.

Ed is in full control...Dunno why anyone would think else.....He knows exactly what he's saying and doing...he is not doing it in anger or spitfulness..his goal is to be hated in the house so they evict him.....so he is , in a controlled mannor, harrassing EVERYONE... Heck he even apologized to Zach for waking him up with the pan

Kale ITA agree with you. Ironically almost added that to my post but it was pretty long lol. I remember posting the first week that Dick is looking to find some intelligent conversation and talk strategy and all he got was 'like you know like what do you like think like we all like everyone like you know?" I think if there had been a Roddy, a Will, even a Kaysar or Janelle, and definately a different Danielle, that Dick would have very happily played a total different type of game. I do think he would have tried to call out other alliances. I think that was a key to his gameplay strategy. But I think beyond that the rest would have been very different!

I don't disagree C1. BUT what if Dani had spent some of the previous weeks building friendships or some relationship with anyone but Nick?? I agree at this point it's too late, but I feel the fault lies with Dani not Dick. Do you recall the first TV episode where Dani was crying that her Dad was there and they all formed a protective circle w/her in the bathroom? Think how different it would be if she worked to make those folks allies and personal supports? Instead she spent all her time with either Nick or Dick. If your name wasn't an 'ick' she wanted nothing to do with you lolol. I think she is VERY used to blaming her Dad for all bad things in her life, and it's easy for her to now say they hate her cause of him. But in fact she is the one who never tried to get to know them, who turned away when they reached out to her. She even said she doesn't like them and doesn't want to hang w/them. Well it's BB...a large part of the game is hanging out with folks you would never deal with in your real life. She has refused to. How is that Dick's fault?

Seems so long ago that Dick attacked Jen for her bullying behaviour before a veto competition.

I agree the house has too many weasels for Dick LOL! I think if he was dealing with upfront honest people he would be alot different. Chicken egg in my opinion. Lots of things came to the front because of Dick's behavior. I can't wait until he is out so the real game can begin... He has been an impediment to the show since he has been there.

I agree with that Marks. His calling things out has not allowed for strategy to happen. I'd rather see back door deals than screaming.
